• Be the ultimate technical escalation point for critical automation failures, blocking pipeline issues, or production quality incidents.
• Partner with Engineering Managers, Solution Architects, and Product Owners to agree on organization goals delivery.
• Mentor mid-level Software Development Engineer in Test (SDET)s and Test Designers, evolving their coding, framework design, and engineering skills.

Requirements

• Minimum of 5+ years of experience in a Software Engineering, DevOps, or Software Development Engineer in Test role, with experience architecting automation frameworks from concept to production.
• Proficiency in at least one object-oriented or functional language (e.g., Python, Java, JavaScript/TypeScript, or Go).
• Experience with CI/CD tools (GitHub Actions, GitLab, or Jenkins) and containerization technologies (Docker, Kubernetes).
• Understanding of complex, distributed cloud systems and identify structural integration risks.
• Capability to explain technical quality risks to both technical developers and non-technical partners or product leaders.
